What are the benefits of using By the Numbers to access your Total Items Sold Report?
While the Shopify report offers product information, By the Numbers focuses solely on the number of items sold, regardless of the product. It also provides valuable insights into total sales, average items per order, and other relevant data. However, its ability to apply this data to specific customer segments through custom segmentation sets By the Numbers apart. This targeted approach ensures that your strategies and communications are tailored to each segment’s distinct needs and preferences, enhancing the relevance and effectiveness of your marketing efforts.
By the Numbers allows you to analyze the Total Items Sold on Shopify Report deeply via custom and standard filters designed to uncover particular trends, carry out comparative analyses, or examine sales patterns across various time ranges.
With this feature, you can find out whether products perform better when sold individually or if they are viewed as complementary to other items according to your customer’s preferences. You could also apply this to a specific time frame and compare it to others.
Custom Segmentation helps you discern the buying preferences unique to specific customer segments, thereby gaining insights into the effectiveness of your marketing strategies and the loyalty of your customer base. This can also help you understand your Customer Lifetime Value
Custom Segmentation
If you start using By the Numbers, you’ll see that there is a wide range of preset filters available. However, you can always take things to the next level and create them yourself.
If you want to craft your custom segments:
1- Once you’ve signed into By the Numbers, select Segments from the menu on the left to access tabs for both Preset Segments and Custom Segments.
2—If you wish to delve into a particular customer segment, you can craft one tailored to your needs. Either head to Custom Segments or locate and click on the Create Segment button in the top right corner. A new window will appear, presenting you with a wide array of filters and group filters to apply. This feature empowers you to pinpoint the customers who have the potential to influence your sales figures significantly.
After selecting the filters that will be applied, test the segment to ensure it’s functional and gain some data insights on the customers who populate it.
Integrations
Custom Segmentation, one of By the Numbers’ many benefits, allows you to retarget distinct customer segments. For example, you might see a notable boost in your sales by concentrating efforts on reactivating customers who are at risk of churning, that is, those who have not purchased in the last 6 to 12 months, through methods like Klaviyo email campaigns, Google Ads, Meta, or TikTok Ads.
Thanks to this integration superpower, executing this is simple:
When you’ve accessed By the Numbers, navigate to the Integrations option in the left-hand menu’s Settings portion.
Select the integration you wish to explore and follow the instructions to link your accounts.
By the Numbers supports seamless integrations with Klaviyo, Google Ads, TikTok, and Meta, allowing you to retarget customers through your preferred platform.
